Hulu - M.A.N.T.I.S.

I loved this series, yet that I can recall it didn't have a real end.

I remember the pilot for this show. He had a middle-aged non-black assistant. They changed it because the show wasn't black enough. I believe the reason the show died was because they over emphasied the african bias.

I just randomly clicked on this show to see what it was about--not bad. I had never even heard of M.A.N.T.I.S. before but I'm glad Hulu's carrying it. Introducing another generation to some cult classics that otherwise would be all but forgotten.

The African-American orientation is in your face, but not in a bad way because it addresses concerns of not only the gang culture but also the affluent, middle class professional blacks who still have to deal with subtle and not-so-subtle discrimination. Somehow this show avoids the political correctness of Grey's Anatomy where everyone's colorblind and perfect.

And you know something? It is refreshing to have a non-WASP cast for a change. A black guy in a wheel chair is ten times more heroic than your usual Hollywood-grown, blond Aryan perfect figure sex symbol.

The hero is not totally super; his batteries can run out, and a sharp blow with an iron bar can short his suit out temporarily. Iron Man solved those problems by using a space age power reactor and military grade titanium armor. Mantis makes up for the lack of access to Tony Stark's factories with a moral code that prevents him from loading his air car with offensive weaponry. His suit is equipped with harmless paralysis darts. He prefers to talk rather than fight.

I've only watched the pilots so far, and I'm eager to gobble up the rest of this series. Too bad it only lasted one season because it had some great ideas in it. And it's nice to see Gina Torres in one of her earlier roles before moving up the ladder to Firefly and future endeavors.

I remember watching this on tv. I wonder why they canceled it. It was a great show.

Thanks Hulu, for this!

I have not seen it sense i was a kid. I wish they made more seasons. Thank you hulu.

Its been years since Ive seen this. I used to love this show. Thank you Hulu! As always your amazing. Even if you aliens plotting to destroy the world!

What are tags?

Tags are keywords or category labels that can help you find videos on Hulu. They also classify videos for later recall.

How can I use tags?

You can tag videos by simply checking the box next to a popular tag for a video or by using the "add" field to create a new tag. Click on any tag -- "comedy" for example --to discover other similarly tagged videos. Tag search can also help you find videos. Filter your search results by adding related tags. For instance, add "satire" to your comedy search to filter your results.

Click on All Your Tags or the Tags tab on your Profile page to see a list of all videos you have tagged. You can filter this list using your tags and see all the videos you have tagged "action", for example. This allows you to create and organize video collections of your choice.

You may assign up to 30 tags for any video or show, so tag away!

What tags shouldn't I use?

Your tags are public by default and everyone can see them. You should not use:

Profane or obscene language
Tags that are inciting or spiteful
Tags that might harass, abuse or threaten members of the community
Tags that may reveal your personal information or any personal information about children under age 13
Tags that promote illegal or immoral conduct
Tags containing special characters or more than 50 characters

Can everyone see my tags?

To help other Hulu users find interesting videos, your tags are public by default and everyone can see them. And as you navigate using tags, you will find interesting videos as collectively organized by Hulu users.

Can I remove a tag?

You can remove tags that you have assigned at any time; to do so, click on the grey [x] next to a tag in the Your Tags section of video pages.
